Eight works (i-viii) Knife

2008

Eight works (i-viii) Knife is a series of black and white archival pigment prints by Erin Shirreff that examines the quiet tension between object and image. Each print isolates the form of a knife through subtle shifts in light and shadow, transforming a familiar subject into something austere and contemplative. The series reflects Shirreff's sustained interest in photography as a medium for exploring perception, stillness, and the materiality of everyday forms.
